Following in the footsteps of her father Claude Michot, Marielle has kept this passion for wine and now runs her own estate and produces two cuvées of Pouilly Fumé. My winemaking philosophy is based on the principles of a sustainable and reasoned culture. Harvesting is mechanical and I use a pneumatic press. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is then raised on fine lees with regular stirrings. She runs 3 hectares on clay soils with kimmeridgian marls, limestone soils and flint soils.

Tasting
A nose bursting with freshness and deep notes of lemon tart, citrus, boxwood, freshly cut herbs and flint.
On the palate, you'll find the superb vegetal and fruity expression of a beautifully mature Sauvignon. The palate is round and sensual, built on a fine acidity that leads to a structured, mineral finish.
